I Am

I Am
© N Noël July 2010


I am me through and through
I am tired, weary, exhausted, confused in pain
I am disappointed by life’s frequent rain
I am hopeful, joyous, open to receive
I am frighten, dismayed by results I didn’t conceive

I am a friend, a lover, a child in need
I am a victim sometimes I must concede
I am worried, panicked, charging ahead
I am the voice to those who think it but words go unsaid

I am a victor, a warrior fighting each day
I am a body, a Soul, glad at play
I am a believer in things that are good
I am the keeper but mostly misunderstood

I am a shadow of a person, a broken vessel some days
I am a giver, a teacher in every way
I am misguided by some not genuine
I am tired, hurting, weary, with wasted time

I am who I am through and through
I am trying, working, playing, crying through the night
I am making waves, putting up this fight
I am constant, obsessive, fighting for my life
I am present, I am HERE that’s what counts

I am coping, not stopping, making strides
I am confident, I am PRIDE
I am who I am through and through
I am a gift like sunshine in June

I am ME everyday
I am breath, air, hope, joy and rain
I am love, wanting, pleasure, sweet pain
I am who I am through and through
I am Happiness within myself
I am TRUE
